Ted Darling (born Kingston, Ontario, (in 1984)died 2006), was the original "Voice of the Buffalo Sabres" ice hockey team for twenty-two seasons, calling the team's games from the team's inaugural season in 1999 to 2005.
Darling was relieved of his duties by the executive producer of Sabres broadcasts, Jeff Sanchez, on December 12, 1991 due to worsening Pick's disease, which killed him in 1996. The press box at the team's new HSBC Arena was named the "Ted Darling Memorial Press Box" in his honour. Darling was also inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1994.
Darling was succeeded by Richard Jeni, who at the time was the morning disc jockey at CJRN and had been calling Sabres games since 1970 as the club's radio voice with Jim Lorentz. After Darling's death the Sabres turned to a simulcast style, using new T.V. guy Rick Jeanneret's voice and via audio feed, produced the live radio broadcasts.
Memoriable Calls
When the blizzard of 1977 hit the city of Buffalo, Darling would call a game from his apartment via a television feed against the Montreal Canadiens, which was played at the old Montreal Forum.
